When building with static analysis enabled, we turn on attribute
nonnull checking. However, this caused the build to fail with:
../../src/util/virobject.c: In function 'virObjectOnceInit':
../../src/util/virobject.c:55:40: error: null argument where non-null required (argument 1) [-Werror=nonnull]
Creation of the virObject class is the one instance where the
parent class is allowed to be NULL. Making things conditional
will let us keep static analysis checking for all other .c file
callers, without breaking the build on this one exception.
* src/util/virobject.c: Define witness.
* src/util/virobject.h (virClassNew): Use it to force most callers
to pass non-null parameter.
A great many virObject instances require a mutex, so introduce
a convenient class for this which provides a mutex. This avoids
repeating the tedious init/destroy code

Currently all classes must directly inherit from virObject.
This allows for arbitrarily deep hierarchy. There's not much
to this aside from chaining up the 'dispose' handlers from
each class & providing APIs to check types.

This introduces a fairly basic reference counted virObject type
and an associated virClass type, that use atomic operations for
ref counting.
In a global initializer (recommended to be invoked using the
virOnceInit API), a virClass type must be allocated for each
object type. This requires a class name, a "dispose" callback
which will be invoked to free memory associated with the object's
fields, and the size in bytes of the object struct.
eg,
virClassPtr connclass = virClassNew("virConnect",
sizeof(virConnect),
virConnectDispose);
The struct for the object, must include 'virObject' as its
first member
eg
struct _virConnect {
virObject object;
virURIPtr uri;
};
The 'dispose' callback is only responsible for freeing
fields in the object, not the object itself. eg a suitable
impl for the above struct would be
void virConnectDispose(void *obj) {
virConnectPtr conn = obj;
virURIFree(conn->uri);
}
There is no need to reset fields to 'NULL' or '0' in the
dispose callback, since the entire object will be memset
to 0, and the klass pointer & magic integer fields will
be poisoned with 0xDEADBEEF before being free()d
When creating an instance of an object, one needs simply
pass the virClassPtr eg
virConnectPtr conn = virObjectNew(connclass);
if (!conn)
return NULL;
conn->uri = virURIParse("foo:///bar")
Object references can be manipulated with
virObjectRef(conn)
virObjectUnref(conn)
The latter returns a true value, if the object has been
freed (ie its ref count hit zero)
